A Sneak Peek at Our Markets
Cloud-out and Edge-in trends are fuelling geographically distributed data center growth.
Here’s a high level view of the markets we operate in.
The Canadian data center market is valued at approximately $10.26 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $22.24 billion by 2030, with an 11.7% CAGR. This growth is driven by the country’s political stability, a strong focus on renewable energy, and abundant access to natural cooling. Government initiatives to promote digital infrastructure and AI, as well as strict data residency and privacy laws, are also key drivers. The main hubs are Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, which benefit from established connectivity and a skilled workforce.
The French data center market is valued at approximately $8.8 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach over $14.2 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 8.4%. This growth is driven by widespread digitalization, government initiatives for digital transformation and AI, and a strong push for sustainability and renewable energy. Paris is the dominant hub, serving as a key internet exchange point, while Marseille is a critical gateway for international connectivity due to its extensive network of submarine cables. The market is also seeing increased demand for both colocation and edge computing services.
The Italian data center market is experiencing significant growth, with projections valuing it at over $6 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 12.13% from 2024. This growth is driven by rising digitalization, strong government support, and strategic investments from hyperscalers like Google and Microsoft. Milan remains the primary hub, but other cities are emerging as the country’s central location and extensive network of submarine cables solidify its position as a key digital hub in Southern Europe.

For Data Center Operators
With 70% of attendees responsible for the strategy and management of data centers, end users benefit from key insights delivered by industry-leading peers on how to optimize internal and external IT resources.
For Technology Vendors
At our conferences we encourage data center vendors to interact with end-users in a transparent environment. Our multi-track conferences are supported by unique expo areas where vendors can showcase infrastructure equipment, software and services.
Join DCN to reach new audiences, nurture the relationship with existing clients and convey thought leadership.
For Investors and Regulators
In such a scenario, objective information is vital for investors looking to diversify their asset portfolios and government agencies looking to regulate the various facets of the data center industry
As pioneers in the data center events industry and foreseeing a disruptive uptake of distributed data center services, we soon realised the need for a new platform. A platform designed for national data center ecosystems as opposed to the increasing events regionalisation in our industry.
We are inspired by the belief that local infrastructure communities need to come together to face challenges and embrace possibilities posed by digital transformation. Data Center Nation embodies this very spirit.
A Nation built by data center operators for data center operators.
